IN HIS OLD CLASS ROOM AT THE BLACKBOARD.
Lexington, Va, Letter to Richmond State.
The ghost had ceased to appear until last night,
when it again showed itself quite as much sur.
rounded by mystery as on the preceding occasions.
At 1 O'Clock on the night of February the ghost
was seen by the sentinel to emerge from the state
library, pass along the first stoop and into class
room No. 9. The "offcer of the DAY" and heuten-
ant of the guard were promptly informed. They
forthwith proceeded to Jackson's old class room,
where the ghost had been seen to enter. They
could see 1t by the faint light admitted through
the windows, seated upon the rOStrum with book
and hat lying the table in front OF IL. Its att
tude was that of professor listening to rec1ta-
ton. In few minutes the figure proceeded to the
blackboard where it went through the manHuvre
Of writing notes on lecture, then it took from
the trough long pointer in its right hand, faced
towards the seats usually occupied by the class
and then went through a series OF gestures as
though delivering lecture, at intervals placing
the pointer on the board as though to explain
something written upon it. After having wit
messed the performance for few minutes the
officer Of the day and sentinel OF the guard entered
the room, but no sooner had they crossed the
threshold than it vanished The gas lighted and
the board thoroughly examined, but no traces OF
writing could be found upon it. Thorough inveS-
LEGATIONS are being made and will advise you i'm
mediatey If there are any other discoveries. The
cadets are trying to keep the matter quiet until
an explanation is given.

dispatch from New York Saturday says: Thos.

journey of easy stages. He had a severe attack
OF peurisy last December, and it left his lungs
hOpelesSly diseased. His recovery is deemed I'm
possible. His health was never robust, and now
he is helpless. He insisted on carrying along his
fncOmpeJed inventions, and is accompanied by an
expert and clerical staff. Edison has lately become
a believer in spir1tualism and has devoted consid-
cradle time and thought to the use OF his phono-
graph or talking machine to communicate with
the dead. These ghostly goings on have disturbed
those capitalists who have heavy concern in his
Inventions and rumOrS OF insanity have circu-
lated, but physicians and others close to him de-
ride any such idea and declare that his intellect is
as clear and strong as ever.

A Gay and BigamOus skeleton.

From the Chicago Times.
There was a skeleton in the family closet of
Isaac W. Sprague, the famous living skeleton OF
the museums, who died recently. He was inan-
cially prosperous unfortunate, for his salary
ranged between $50 and 800 a week for many
years during which he was an exhibit, and, as he
spent money slowly, he leaves an estate estimated
at fully $4,000. From that fact arises the scan
DIAL. With him at the time OF his death was a
woman who passed as his wife, and VINO claims
the fortune as SUCH She says that she was regu-
Larry married TO the atropnied human curiosity
Two years ago In Cleveland. and that thereafter
She was his devoted companion and nurse. she

was a good-looh1ng girl OF twenty. She declares
that she did not know or Sprague having had a
prior wife, and that he represented in his court
ship that he was bachelor. But an undoubted
first wife now comes forward. She shows a mar
Rage certificate to prove that She was married to
the gay skeleton in 1868 at ROckland, Mass
where she bore him three children. He deserted
her four years ago and she does not know OF his
having obtained divorce. The money is under

ALetter From Gladstone.

PARLIAMENT WILL CONTINUE PARALYZED UNTIL TN
IRISH QUESTION is SETTLED.
Mr.. Gladstone in a letter just made public sup
porting Mr.. Slagg, the liberal candidate norui
mated to contest the parliamentary seat for Burn
ley, made vacant by the death OF Mr.. Petel
Rylands, the Iberal-unionist, says:
'FOr the last twelve months have been telling
the English, Scotch and Welsh that their parlia-
ment will continue paralyzed and their business
neglected until it settles the Irish question. The
Scotch and Welsh believed that, but the southern
English did not, and they stopped the way. They
pay heavy for the delay. Before we reach certain
conclusions We will have to pay with them, and
after the thing has been done the Tories will be-
gin to say and believe that they always were home
rulers. Costly playing with the national interests
seems to be the main purpose wherefor the tories
exist. They have played a certain time with all
great questions during the last nifty or sixty
years, and when they leave of with one they soon
find another wherewith to play again."
Mr.. Gladstone concludes his letter as follows:

The CreOles Don't Like 1t.


EFFECT OF THE SUNDAY LAW IN THE FRENCH PAR
ISHES OF LOUISIANA.
The Sunday law has made New Orleans
quiet city upon the Sabbath, abolishing
the hustle and life that usually prevailed
upon that day; but it is In the creole or
French parishes of the state that it has had the
greatest effect completely revolutionizing the life
and habits OF the people, Some of the towns in
the Attakapas as it is called, say they are being
ruined by the new law. Abbevtlle, the county seat
OF VermillOn, is one that complains that the Sun
day law will completely destroytt. The popula-
ton in and around the town is almost wholly
gala day OF the year, like fair day in England,
when all the people from the surrounding country
came to town to make their purchases, to lay in
their supplies for the week ndtOenjoy themselves
The Abbevtlle merchants and stOrekeepers say
that their business is considerably less than half
what 1t used to be, and that the sales for the
whole week are now less than the average of a
previous sunday, and many insist that IL the law
continues in force they will be compelled to emf
CRATE to some other locality where there is no Sum
day law, or where the people will make their pur-
chaSeS upon a week day.
